More ways to browse
Many families hang one stocking for each person, which makes these pages a sweet way to talk about family. Ask your child what they hope to find inside, and let them write their name on the cuff. Classic colors are red with a white cuff, but stripes, plaid and polka dots are common on real stockings too.
Leave the cuff white or shade it with pale gray for a fuzzy look. Glue on cotton balls or a strip of felt after coloring, then hang the paper stocking on a door or mantel.
